A page that does not change, cataloguing forty centuries of the word it shares a name with. Type into it and your own words render as a typeface made of live noise — and now that's every word on the page, not just the headline. Press the button and even the words hold still.

The Geometry of Type
The Geometry of Type explores 100 traditional and modern typefaces in detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. Characters from each typeface are enlarged and annotated to reveal key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked elements of type design, which shows how these attributes affect mood and readability. Sidebar information lists the designer and foundry, the year of release and the different weights and styles available, while feature boxes explain the origins and best uses for each typeface, such as whether it is suitable for running text or as a display font for headlines. To help the reader spot each typeface in the wider world, the full character set is shown, and the best letters for identification are highlighted.

A small but important ATProto publishing signal: Gordon Brander merged standard.site publishing into Italic, his static site generator. That means a local static-site build can also write long-form `site.standard.*` records to a PDS.
excited to share lichen.page, a cms for static site generators, built on atproto there are also a number of other strange things about it. I would describe it as a sort of software as research, but you can also use it, and curious what people make of it
This is really exciting to see! I think some magical things can happen when we "free" our links from static pages and let them intermingle in a social knowledge medium like Semble.

@semble.so I'm experimenting with creating a Collection of links and resources that would normally be in the show notes of my podcast episode. Not sure it makes sense to include a guest's profile (i.e. university profile page or Bluesky profile) as a Card. What do you think?
